Americans, on the other hand, are about twice as likely to try horse as they are to try dog, but that’s not saying much. They would much rather ostrich or allegator, YouGov found:

There’s a big difference, of course, between being comfortable with eating an animal, and being comfortable with eating minced meat that contains contains unknown quantities of various animals — hence the shock at the horse meat contamination even in European countries where horse is a mainstream meat. So what would Americans do if news of horse-contaminated burgers reached these shores? From YouGov:

If horsemeat was discovered in hamburgers in this country, American reactions were mostly evenly divided between not eating all pre-prepared hamburgers until meat was declared clear of horsemeat (22%), eating pre-prepared hamburgers made by brands not associated with horsemeat (21%), eating only hamburgers prepared at home (18%), and continuing to eat the same number of pre-prepared hamburgers from the same outlets/ brands (15%).

My wife and I have recently decided to eat only "grown" foods. It's clear at this point that meat creates many problems. It's one thing to have animals fixed to avoid overpopulation. But to use them for killing isn't right at all. So what if some people have remained stupid for centuries. It's clear that animals have personalities. Plants do not. But animals have abilities while they are alive. And for what I have seen. the healthiest people in the world do not eat meat. Go figure that one.

Polls don't mean shit. I am pretty sure no one asked me. And they likely didn't ask anyone from my town. Horses aren't meant for eating. They haven't been for a long time. And they still aren't. Anyone who would would gladly eat a turd on a bun.
